Market Linked CDs

Diversify into the equity markets without the risk

We designed BMO Harris Market Linked CDs 1 for long-term investors who seek safety of principal and want to participate in the performance of the equity markets. You get the growth potential of the stock market but with a guarantee 2 that if you hold the CD to maturity, you won’t lose any of your principal. The minimum investment is $15,000.

While the principal amount of the CD is FDIC 3 insured, you have the opportunity to earn a return based on the performance of selected equity indices, such as the S&P 500 4. Your BMO Harris financial advisor can help you incorporate Market Linked CDs into your investment strategy.

Other investment considerations:

  • Interest 4 (where applicable) does not compound and is not FDIC insured. You will receive interest either annually or at maturity, depending on the Market Linked CD you choose.
  • Returns 6 will vary, depending on the performance of the underlying index.
  • You can access information about your account by telephone and online.
  • Generally, you cannot make early withdrawals. Your ability to sell the CD in the secondary market depends on availability and market price 7 .

6 While the principal amount of a BMO Harris Bank N.A. MLCD is guaranteed, if held to maturity and is repaid upon maturity, there is no guarantee of any return that is linked to the performance of underlying assets. Changes in the underlying assets may affect the rate of return of the CD. BMO Harris MLCDs may return interest that is less than a comparable traditional CD. or which may be zero. MLCDs whose interest is determined based upon the performance of a market measure, such as equity indices or stocks, may be treated as issued with original issue discount (OID ). Accordingly, a holder of a CD may be required to include OID on the CD as interest income during each taxable year that the holder owns the CD. Prospective purchasers of the CDs should consult their own tax advisors concerning the tax consequences of the ownership of a CD in their particular situation.

7 Early withdrawal generally not permitted. Sale or redemption subject to market price in secondary market, if made available by BMO Capital Markets, which could be less than initial investment.
